WAT EPK 

Airplane! (1980) is a fun spoof comedy with lots of laughs, right? I watched this film for the first time the other night. I loved it. Then came the racist jokes.

"Hustlers" returns power to groups that are traditionally deprived of it: women, the working class, and sex workers.

Bigg County Restorations is a zany new pilot from comedians Joe Bell and Mikaela Watkins. In a spot-on parody of History Channel shows like American Restoration and Pawn Stars, Paul Bigg (John Jezior) works to restore kitschy decor for celebrities while his good-for-nothing adult children, Britney (Mikaela Watkins) and Junior (Joe Bell) go on wacky adventures while slacking off on the menial tasks they’ve been assigned. In the pilot, Britney and Mikaela’s day goes off the rails pretty fast.

For a young girl who wishes to keep her current traditions, this holiday will end up with a surprise twist.

Despite the film’s efforts to reframe its heroine with modern complexity, a certain emotional distance lingers.
